My 86 year old Aunt just called me and said that she saw me on @CNN and she wanted to share w/me that this is the first time in her life that she feels like her vote actually matters. She said, “Tosha you make me feel like Black people can win.” Y’all I’m moved beyond words.

Yesterday was the toughest day of my life. I buried my only child. On the way from the grave, my grandsons had a moment of pure contentment. I was scared of the day after but woke-up today feeling a sense of peace. The Bible says the children will lead us. They are leading me. 💕

Speaker Nancy please don’t go down that path. The only reason Georgia is here is bc the left organized. The traditional democratic strategy has failed us for more than 20+ yrs. We’re here because a NEW SOUTH is organizing & rising. These numbers are about OUR POWER not the party.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants had a stark warning for Democrats today: swing too far left and they’re all but certain to blow their chances in the Georgia runoff that will determine which party controls the Senate.

Trump is mad and thinking, “Y’all stole the election for Brian Kemp, how come y’all can’t steal it for me? You know how to do it.”. Raffensperger is like, “We TRIED boss. We counted 4 times. We even wrongly purged 200,000 voters. We did everything we could. They out organized us.

If Dems want to maintain Black women’s support you better keep VP Harris’ name out of your mouth other than saying to her,”Thank you!” . She understood the assignment and ran an excellent campaign. She was outstanding. VP Harris will not bear the burden nor take the blame for.

I’m amazed that the same liberal folk that expect Black protestors to be peaceful also support the police in violently responding to looting. WHY is peace the ONLY option for Black folk but violence is ALWAYS an acceptable option against Black folk depending on the circumstance?.

What did he say about Black turnout? 🧐 Yeah, I thought so. ☺️.
Here's the story right now:. 1. Black turnout looks, frankly, phenomenal. 2. Perdue/Loeffler are approaching Trump %s of the vote in a lot of deep red rural counties, but turnout there isn't anything special. 3. It's getting harder to see a path for either R, but esp. Loeffler.

SCOTUS says that it is ok for POC to be disproportionately impacted by voting laws as long as there is no racist intent. The VERY REASON minority communities ARE disproportionately impacted is bc of circumstances created by RACISM. The root cause of the disparities is RACISM!.
